fly-by-night a fly-by-night person or organization cannot be trusted because they have not been established long, and could leave or close at any time. They've opened one of those cheap and nasty fly-by-night stores on the High Street. (always before noun) I'm serious about representing my constituents. I'm not a fly-by-night politician. |
